The Ellis School has long been recognized for its academic excellence, a tradition we are proud to uphold. We firmly believe that academic and athletic achievement are not mutually exclusive.

Our goal is to provide a holistic and rewarding experience—one that not only complements the academic mission of our school but also empowers student-athletes with transferable life skills. These skills are practiced daily through teamwork, discipline, and healthy competition, all in a supportive and challenging environment.

Success in this program is a shared responsibility. By holding ourselves and each other accountable, putting forth consistent effort, and treating everyone with respect, we create a culture where student-athletes can truly thrive.

Participation in athletics at Ellis is a privilege, not a right. We hold our student-athletes to high standards, expecting them to lead both on and off the field or court with integrity and dedication.

As members of Ellis Athletics, student-athletes are expected to embody our core values:

Be Bold: Roar with Bravery, Lead with Pride, and Excel with Discipline.

Roar with Bravery – Take initiative, face challenges head-on, and never shy away from adversity. Be courageous in competition and in character.

Lead with Pride – Represent yourself, your team, and your school with honor. Support others, lead by example, and take pride in all that you do.

Excel with Discipline – Commit to growth, stay focused, and put in the work necessary to reach your full potential—athletically, academically, and personally.

We are excited about the journey ahead and are grateful for your partnership in helping our student athletes succeed both on and off the field.

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Renee Brown-Antonelli

Director of Athletics
